Periorbital ecchymosis (Raccoon Eyes) is a sign of basal skull fracture. Make certain there has been NO trauma to the head!

Probably not but the medic in me makes me ask. Could just be lack of sleep, allergies, or genetics. Check out the link below for more info.

Sizwe, I don't have a clue. That is way outside of my scope of practice.

As a mom, though, I would suggest to you that you tell your friend to take her daughter to see the doctor.

All the best to you.

One thing I would be concerned with is if she is starting to purge. Hemmoraging can occur as a result, and will show up as spots. Good luck in finding out!
